Our 1st Day of 1st Grade
Plant Pono!
Papa Ekahi is learning about the ʻaina through planting. Leeward Haleakalā Watershed Restoration Partnership visited our keiki and showed them how they can kokua to impact our forest on Maui. One way they can help restore dryland forest is to grow native plants and food plants.
Students participated in making seed balls that will be used to reforest the Nuʻu and Kahikinui areas. The seed balls included ʻaʻaliʻi and ʻaweoweo seeds which will be dropped from a helicopter. Mahalo to Mr. Stenger, Andrea, Kealii and Christian for an engaging hands on activity that will help restore and preserve our ʻaina.

Boys’ Day
Reply
We celebrated Boys’ Day on May 5 by making carp kites. It is a Japanese custom that began in China. Long ago warriors flew banners above the gateway of their homes to honor their sons. Flying the carp streamers encourages boys to work hard to reach high goals. Families in Hawai’i celebrate Boys’ Day to wish their boys health and happiness!
